A Seated From Golden Gate Park Last Week!

[MT]

Was able to get out with a friend, Alex today just before the rains and during the incredible percussion gathering at Hippie Hill. Actually, they are pretty good. Tons of drums, a trumpet, flutes and whatever else floats their boat is in GGP on Saturdays The food giveaway is a big success, with many folks lined up to eat...Whatever it is? I was hungry, but didn't get in line.

Alex and I hunted for hours, finding lots of clad, but no silver. Finally, I got a pretty good signal with the E-Trac at about 9 inches, and found a really nice Seated Dime...1884S. I will take it. He really skunked me last Saturday with his 7 silvers
What a place that is in Golden Gate Park, but there's stuff there...I think.
Thanks for looking.

great looking coin Tom , ah what i wouldn't give for just one S mint mark

Nice Seated coin Tom. A very respectable depth on it too. Did it come in iffy or was it showing 12-45, 12-46 fairly solid? I think there are probably more coins at that depth. Most machines won't give a diggable signal at those depths for a small object like a dime. Throw in a bit of rust or junk nearby and many machines won't even chirp at those depths. Congrats on pulling somethin good, that deep. thumbsup01

I really don't pay any attention to what it reads...I look at the depth, and if it sounds good at 90 degrees, I dig
Thanks,
Tom

Nice seated,sometimes that is the best approach....if it beeps and is deep dig it.

Golen Gate Park is another one of those heavily hunted areas. There were a lot of rings from the early 1900s found in the west side of the park from the great fire of SF. Good Luck, HH
